Skew Shaped Positroids and Double Bott-Samelson Varieties

Abstract. Skew shaped positroid varieties are subvarieties of the Grassmannian defined by determinantal equations, and are special cases of open positroid varieties. Double Bott-Samelson varieties are algebraic varieties defined in terms of configurations of flags depending on a positive braid word. We explicitly realize every skew shaped positroid in Gr(k,n) as a double Bott-Samelson variety, and use this to construct splicing maps for skew shaped positroid varieties, generalizing those constructed by the first and third authors in the case of maximal positroid cells.
